Have you ever wanted to visit a strip mine to see how coal is dug, hauled from the pits and loaded into trains? This video includes two programs that show you exciting strip mining action at Wyoming's Black Thunder mine. King Coal presents today's gargantuan mining machinery, the "flood-loading" of Union Pacific and BNSF unit trains, and multi-track mainline action. Then, in Powder River Basin Coal Trains, you'll witness the same operations during the Burlington Northern and Chicago & North Western eras, including a wonderful mix of new and old motive power, a cab ride aboard a helper engine at White Tail Hill, and more. Color, 3 hours total runtime.
